Product overview
4.2 Functional principle
Two fixed servo motors drive a toothed belt arrayed in an H-shape. The circulating toothed belt moves
the Y-axis and the slide on the Y-axis in a 2-dimensional space. The position of the slide is calculated
by a controller. The slide is moved in the direction of an axis by the controlled interplay of the two
motors. Additional tasks can be implemented by attachment components (Z-axes).

5 Transport
CAUTION
Risk of injury from falling parts.
Parts of the product or the transportation protection may fall during transport or unpacking.
• Observe the identification on the transportation protection.
• Unpack the product with at least 2 persons.
NOTICE
Damage to the product due to incorrect transport.
• Observe the transport labelling and information on the packaging.
1. Transport the product to the mounting or storage location in its packaging and place on an flat,
solid surface.
2. Observe the storage conditions for storage è 14.2 Operating and storage conditions.
5.1 Unpacking
NOTICE
Damage to the product due to incorrect unpacking.
• Note the identifications and information for unpacking on the transportation protection.
• Unpack the product with at least 2 persons.
• Use appropriate tools.
•Parts of the transportation protection are large and heavy:
•Do not drop parts on the product.
• Use suitable equipment for lifting and lowering (e.g. crane).
Open transport crate
•Remove the cover and the side covers in accordance with the sequence shown on the shipping
crate.
Removing transport mounting
The product is fastened with transport screws in the transport crate.
Movable parts of the planar surface gantry are fixed with cable binders.
The transportation attachments are identified with stickers.
WARNING
Movable parts of the planar surface gantry can move uncontrollably during handling and mounting.
Danger of crushing and material damage.
• Do not remove the cable binders fixing movable parts and the transportation locks on the X-axes
until the product has been mounted on the mounting surface.
•For mounting, remove only the labelled transport screws with which the planar surface gantry is
fastened to the transport crate.

6.2 Mounting requirements
Mounting requirements for the complete functional range of the planar surface gantry:
–Sufficient space for the movement of the axes and the optional attachment component (Z-axis)
–Torsion-resistant mounting surface
–Tension-free mounting sufficient for the maximum forces
–Corresponding flatness of the mounting surface for correctly aligned axes è 7.2 Alignment
6.3 Mounting position
The planar surface gantry can be mounted horizontally or, if certain requirements are met, vertically.
6.3.1 Horizontal mounting position
Mounting specifications
The energy chains must be above the X-axis.
NOTICE
The reversed mounting position with the energy chains hanging downward is not permissible.
6.3.2 Vertical mounting position
Requirements
The following components must be ordered and mounted:
–Drive with motors with brake
WARNING
If the specified requirements are not met:
Danger of death and property damage by falling cross-brace (Y-axis).
If the power supply is interrupted (e.g. by power failure) during operation, the cross-brace may fall
uncontrolled.
The motor brakes are only designed as holding brakes and cannot stop a moving cross-brace.
• To prevent falling:
Make sure that the requirements for a vertical mounting position are met: all components must be
ordered and mounted.
Mounting specifications
–The X-axes are laid out vertically.
–The curve of the X-axis energy chain is aligned hanging down.
This means that the motors must be at the top end of the X-axis.
6.4 Types of mounting
There are two types of mounting kits for mounting the planar surface gantry:
–Adjusting kits è 6.4.1 Adjusting kits
or
–Mounting plates è 6.4.2 Mounting plates
The ordered mounting kits are pre-assembled on the planar surface gantry.
6.4.1 Adjusting kits
Adjusting kits EADC-E12-… are used for mounting and aligning the planar surface gantry.

–The slot nuts, adjusting plates, hexagon head screws, square nuts and adjusting bolts are mounted
on the axis profiles when ordered.
–The washers and socket head screws are enclosed with the order.
In the following, only the basic positioning, mounting and aligning with adjusting kits is explained.
• For mounting the planar surface gantry also observe the following chapter:
è 7 Mounting (horizontal mounting position)
è 8 Mounting (vertical mounting position)

Positioning adjusting kit
1. Unscrew the hexagon head screws approx. ½ revolution.
2. Position the adjusting plate è 6.5.2 Mounting holes.
3. Tighten the hexagon head screws. Tightening torque 9.9 Nm

1. Position the washers under the socket head screws.
2. Fasten the adjusting plate to the mounting surface with the socket head screws.
3. Tighten the socket head screws. Tightening torque 24 Nm

Preparations for assembly
Aligning and adjusting profiles
• Observe detailed descriptions for alignment:
è 7 Mounting (horizontal mounting position) or
è 8 Mounting (vertical mounting position)
1. On the adjusting kit that is to be adjusted:
Only loosen the socket head screw that is currently being adjusted. Do not loosen both screws of
the adjusting kit simultaneously.
2. Screw the adjusting bolt in or out (h = 6 … 11 mm).
Use an open-ended spanner with a thickness of < 5 mm. Ensure that the screw-in depth of the
socket head screw is sufficient (with steel ³ 8 mm).
3. Tighten the socket head screw. Tightening torque 24 Nm
Counterhold the adjusting bolt to maintain the alignment.

6.4.2 Mounting plates
The mounting plates are an alternative to the adjusting kits and are used to attach the planar surface
gantry.
NOTICE
The mounting plates are not adjustable.
• Some measures are required to align the planar surface gantry and maintain the limit values.
The distance dimension for the retaining screws is identical to that of the adjusting kits.

6.5 Mounting
6.5.1 Number of mounting kits
The required and pre-assembled number of mounting kits depends on the stroke of the X-axis.

Tab. 5: Number of mounting kits
6.5.2 Mounting holes
• Note the mounting position of the planar surface gantry è 6.3 Mounting position.
• Note the number of mounting kits è Tab. 5 Number of mounting kits.
• Keep a clearance of at least 5 cm in extension of the X-axis for mounting access behind the end cap
of the toothed belt tensioner.
•Prepare the threaded holes in the mounting surface.
